[Black Basket] Warm Mist

Seirin's basketball manager Yuki Mikoto took a week off due to illness, and took the academic ability test right after returning to school.After the rankings were released the next afternoon, as soon as she saw her test results, she dedicated herself to the basketball club.

However, there is bad news for Yuki Mikoto: the Seirin Basketball Club will be replaced by first-year Hasegawa Shiho as the coach after the summer vacation. The school girl Hasegawa I like has established a good revolutionary (tutorial) friendship with the candidates in the ministry during her sick leave.

After being told about this by Aida Reiko, Yuki Mikoto, who was smiling brightly because she was about to see Kuroko again, was suddenly stunned: "...Reiko-senpai? What did you say?"

Aida Reiko showed unbearable eyes, so she changed the subject: "Mikoto, Xiaoshiho will be here in a while, you two should get to know each other first."

To be honest, Reiko Aida admires Mikoto Yuki.

At first, Aida Reiko, who was a little disgusted with Yuki Mikoto's motivation to join the basketball club, later found that she was a girl who was willing to endure hardships, so she gradually accepted her.

However, appreciation is appreciation. It is impossible for Aida Reiko to completely hand over the basketball team to Yuki Mikoto.Yuki Mikoto often has a lot of selfishness when dealing with problems, and she will unconditionally favor Kuroko.As a coach, this is the worst mistake you should make.The coach should treat every player in the team equally, even if there is a slight difference, it should not be too obvious, but should weigh the pros and cons and try to maintain the stability within the team, otherwise it will easily trigger negative emotions from other players. In the end, a strong team fell apart.

Therefore, Aida Reiko would rather draw Hasegawa Shiho into the basketball team now that the finals of the national competition are about to start, and never leave any hope for Yuki Mikoto.Even if this approach might cost the basketball team an excellent manager, Reiko Aida would not hesitate to do so.

Seirin's basketball club's goal has always been to be No. [-] in Japan.In the process of achieving this goal, a slight mistake will fall short.Reiko Aida couldn't afford to gamble or lose.

But Yuuki Mikoto was very sad.

She stuffed the plan in her hand into Aida Reiko's arms, resisting the urge to cry, and said in a low voice: "Sister Lizi, here are some feasible plans I thought of for the training of the basketball team during the sick leave. If you ...if you still want to see it..."

Aida Reiko hurriedly comforted her: "Where is it! I will definitely watch it! It's just a new coach, and it's not a write-off of your credit, don't be sad!"

Yuki Mikoto nodded, but turned around and wiped the corner of her eyes.

Aida Reiko couldn't persuade her, so she could only let it go.

A few minutes later, the members of the basketball club who changed into sportswear and sneakers walked into the basketball hall one by one.When everyone was about to arrive, Hasegawa Shiho also arrived at the basketball hall.

Aida Reiko pulled Yuki Mikoto towards Hasegawa Shiho, and pushed the reluctant Yuki Mikoto to her eyes: "Little Shiho, this is the Yuki Mikoto you have been longing to see earlier! Come on, you guys The two chat first, I will go to the lounge to find something, and I will join you when I come back later."

Saying that, Aida Reiko left.

Shiho Hasegawa, who was carrying a schoolbag, greeted Yuki Mikoto cautiously with a smile: "Hi, Yuuki-senpai. I am Shiho Hasegawa, a first-year student. It's a pleasure to meet you! It's our first time meeting, please Take care!"

Yuki Mikoto groaned for a long time before saying awkwardly: "...Hello."

——It's not that she hates this first-year girl!It's just that I can't think about it for the time being.

Yuki Mikoto felt that it might take some time to fully accept the fact that she could not be the coach of the basketball team.As for how long this time is, she doesn't know.

Hasegawa Shiho put his schoolbag on the side of the bench, first visually checked the number of people present, and then opened the list of basketball clubs, and made a small cross behind the names of the latecomers.Then, she took out the towels and water bottles from the plastic basket, arranged them one by one according to the names on them, and placed them neatly on the bench.

After finishing these things that should be done by the manager, Hasegawa Shiho showed that slightly reserved smile again: "Sister Yuki, I heard that you were sick a while ago, is it okay? If you need me place, please feel free to raise it.”

Yuki Mikoto felt that her territory had been violated by the other party: "No need! I'm fine, you go about your own business!"

"OK, all right."

Hasegawa Shiho automatically understood Yuki Mikoto's words as "don't disturb my work", so she obediently walked aside and began to record the training process of the members.

As soon as Hasegawa Shiho took out the training record from her schoolbag, Kuroko stood in front of her silently: "Sister Hasegawa, where did you go during recess in the afternoon? I went to your classroom to look for you, but I didn't see you."

"...Ah, hello, Senior Heizi."

Hasegawa Shiho was not afraid, and calmly replied as if Kuroko had been within her sight all the time: "Afternoon recess? The homeroom teacher called me to the staff room and asked me if I had any intention of skipping a grade."

Heizi blinked: "Then Hasegawa-sister is going to skip a grade?"

Hasegawa Shiho said: "I don't want to think about it for the time being. -Senior Kuroko, what can I do for you?"

Heizi took a step back and bowed solemnly: "I am very grateful to Junior Hasegawa for helping me in my studies. I have passed all the key points. This time I was admitted to the top [-]. Thanks to Junior Hasegawa , my English and chemistry scores are very good."

Hasegawa Shiho hurriedly returned the salute: "Senior, don't do this, it's just my effort!"

Heizi bowed again: "No, if it wasn't for Junior Hasegawa, I might not be able to continue the competition because of my failure. So I must thank Senior Hasegawa for her great help. Junior is my savior."

Hasegawa Shiho hurriedly returned the salute: "I'm counting on you, Kuroko-senpai, can you not be so polite? On the night of tutoring at Lizi-senpai's house, thanks to your care all the way, I was able to get home safely! Kuroko-senpai He is my savior!"

Heizi bowed again: "Sister Hasegawa, in the future exams, please help me to highlight the key points again, thank you."

Hasegawa Shiho followed and returned the gift: "Senior Kuroko, please don't be polite. For the sake of the basketball club, I will definitely urge everyone to study hard!"

Over there, Kuroko and Hasegawa Shiho just bowed to each other, thanked each other, and begged each other; here, Hinata commanded several members with a black face: "Hey! Go and pull them away, it hasn't started yet." Let's bow first in training, doesn't it make sense?!"

Yuki Mikoto, who witnessed the whole process of thanking her, became angry for some reason.

She said loudly to Reiko Aida who had just returned from the lounge: "Coach! I object to Hasegawa Shiho being the new coach of our basketball team!"

Hasegawa Shiho was stunned.She didn't understand why Yuki Mikoto's attitude changed so quickly.

Aida Reiko didn't understand why the manager suddenly got angry: "Mikoto, what's wrong with you? Wasn't it fine just now? Shiho is fine, why are you against her? We all agreed!"

Koganei didn't want to make the atmosphere worse, so he made a small expansion for Aida Reiko's words: "Well... Although we didn't want to recognize her at the beginning, Hasegawa-senpai is really amazing! And Vulcan She can win against one, and she is also the sister of the super famous Renichi Hasegawa!"

Yuki Mikoto immediately gave Koganei a stare full of resentment.

Koganei immediately kept silent and retreated silently.

Heizi chimed in: "Well, Hasegawa-san is really suitable. So, Yuki-san, don't make things difficult for her."

——Student Yuki, don't make things difficult for her?

This sentence became the straw that broke the camel's back.

Yuuki Mikoto stared at Heizi angrily, tears streaming down her face.

She stubbornly wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and choked up her own voice: "If you can win one-on-one with Vulcan Lord by chance, you must be suitable to be a coach? There is no necessary connection between the two! Besides! Well, her elder brother is a famous assistant coach of the national team, but it doesn't mean she is too! What qualifications does she have? Why does she have it? If you all think that she is better than me, then I... I resign!"

After saying the last sentence "I resign", Yuki Mikoto pushed Hasegawa Shiho away, then pushed away Kuroko, and ran out of the basketball court crying.

Hasegawa Shiho who was pushed didn't even move.She was still out of state: "...Eh? Yuki-senpai is crying? Is it my fault?"

Heizi staggered for half a step and explained very calmly: "It's not Hasegawa-senpai's fault, it's my fault."

Hasegawa Shiho tilted his head in confusion: "But why is Kuroko-senpai's fault? No matter how you look at it, Yuuki-senpai is angry and crying because of me, right? I'll go after her and explain to her clearly." .”

Aida Reiko stopped her: "No need. If you go, she will be even sadder." Moreover, you are probably the last person she wants to see now.

Different from Hasegawa Shiho's blankness, Koganei sighed helplessly: "Sunspot, you... oh." What a crime!Momoi Itsuki from Toko Gakuen before, and Yuki Mikoto from Seirin High School later, Kuroko, have you been concentrating on seducing the basketball manager for 30 years? !

Heizi looked at everyone silently.

Hinata followed suit and sighed: "Ah, ah, Kuroko, you've caused a big problem this time."

Aida Reiko also sighed: "Heizi-kun, aren't you very good at girls? Why did you say that just now? I am really going to be defeated by you. You can't use such a bad way to reject someone's intentions... "

Heizi scratched his face: "I didn't."

Everyone who saw that Yuuki Mikoto had a heart for Kuroko Tetsuya said in unison: "You have it!"

Hasegawa Shiho didn't know why, but this did not prevent her from agreeing with Aida Reiko's remarks: "Senior Kuroko, when rejecting a girl's wishes, you must be gentle and tactful, otherwise it will make the other party sad."

Heizi said, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to Junior Hasegawa."

The second and third graders of the basketball club: Hello!Why do you want to apologize to Hasegawa-san, instead of us poor people who have been "caused by you" all the time? !

Hasegawa Shiho said: "Eh? It's nothing, Kuroko-senpai didn't cause me any trouble, you're being serious."

The second and third graders of the basketball club: Hello!Why don't you use the honorific "you" to Heizi?Should the differential treatment be reflected so quickly? !

Heizi further explained: "Student Yuki may blame Hasegawa-sister for being angry with me, so please bear with me, I believe she didn't mean it."

Hasegawa Shiho suddenly realized: "It turns out that Yuki-senpai is Kuroko-senpai's girlfriend! Kuroko-senpai just made his girlfriend angry, right? Then go and chase her back quickly! I also believe that you can do it, Senpai." of!"

Heizi said: "Student Yuki is not my girlfriend, and I don't have any feelings for her beyond ordinary classmates."

The second and third graders of the basketball club: Heizi, what do you guys think!

Hasegawa Shiho was surprised: "Eh? Why? Senior sister is so nice, why doesn't senior like her?"

The second and third graders of the basketball club: Absolutely overwhelming!

The first graders who have been doing basic training on the other side of the basketball hall said with tears: The seniors seem to be very happy, can our rookies in the first grade apply to join?

In short, the fact that Yuki Mikoto resigned in anger was temporarily ignored by everyone.

After more than a year of contact, the old members of the basketball club have long regarded Yuki Mikoto as one of the indispensable members.They don't want her to really resign, so they can only deceive themselves by ignoring: Mikoto Yuki will not easily leave everyone behind.

Facts have proved that Yuki Mikoto will not abandon everyone in the basketball club easily, she only spent one day to figure it out completely.

The next afternoon, Yuki Mikoto's first words after returning to the basketball team were: "Hasegawa, I decided to supervise you! If you replace me as the coach and dare to make the slightest mistake in training or competition, I, Yuki Mikoto, will never Will forgive you!"

Hasegawa Shiho blinked, and the fighting spirit in his eyes instantly burned: "Although I don't know why Yuki-senpai suddenly challenged me, but... I accept your challenge, please feel free to come here. "
